ISC’11 -- Mellanox® Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX) (TASE:
MLNX), a leading supplier of high-performance, end-to-end connectivity
solutions for data center servers and storage systems, and Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), today announced world-leading
scalability achieved with LLNL supercomputers and Mellanox InfiniBand
interconnect solutions. The results are based on collaboration between
the two organizations to enhance high-performance computing (HPC)
software drivers and MPI libraries on top of Mellanox’s scalable
interconnect solutions. The joint effort has delivered new levels of
workload performance and maximized the return on investment for LLNL
users.
“LLNL is tasked to take on some of the world’s most difficult and
complex problems – all of which are very compute-intensive and place
huge performance demands on the network,” said Matt Leininger, deputy
for advanced technology projects at LLNL. “The collaborative work with
Mellanox has helped us to recently advance our scaling capabilities in
our large scale Hyperion
testbed cluster, delivering significant benefits on tested workloads.
Deploying these enhancements on our production cluster will result in
faster application runtime which increases research productivity.”
The Mellanox and LLNL teams modified Message Passing Interface (MPI)
libraries to optimize Mellanox InfiniBand capabilities and enhance
application performance and efficiencies. The tested workload
performance at scale increased up to 700 percent and resulted in
significant progress to meet LLNL’s petascale and exascale computing
goals.
“Mellanox InfiniBand solutions deliver the highest scalability and
performance for the supercomputers of today and the future,” said
Michael Kagan, Chief Technology Officer at Mellanox Technologies. “The
tight collaboration with LLNL enables both organizations to optimize
application utilization over Mellanox InfiniBand solutions for the
high-performance computing community, and to deliver enhanced
performance and scaling for LLNL applications and workloads.”
